There is a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps in the palace, and there are guards everywhere.
The head of the Xixia Kingdom, who was the first to step forward at the entrance of Chaoyang Palace, was asked to get out of the car by a very polite guard--the vehicles entering and exiting were inspected, including the heads of state!
Qingcheng tightly protected the imperial edict that he regarded as life in his arms. Like Yanyan, he was dressed in men's clothing and sat on the magnificent and luxurious carriage of the Northern Mu Kingdom Lord, waiting anxiously.
In the distance, Bei Mu Kuang was still saying goodbye to the current Queen who came to see off the Crown Prince Tianchen. According to the Queen's statement: Emperor Xuanyuan Qi was ill and refused to visit. In order to see it as a grand event, he specially asked the Crown Prince and the current Queen to see him off.
.
Bei Mukuang couldn't help but smile, but his voice was very heavy, and he said a few words of hope that the emperor would recover soon, and that the queen and the prince would feel at ease.
Before he finished speaking, Bei Mu Kuang said casually, seemingly inadvertently: "Your Majesty the Queen, I wonder if the assassin who broke into the palace last night was caught?"
The Queen, who was about to turn around and walk away, was startled when she heard this, stopped and looked at him steadily: "I wonder why the Lord of Beimu Kingdom said this?"
"Before I leave, I want to give the Queen a big gift to show my good relations with your country!" Bei Mu Kuang said lightly, still with a smile on his lips.
"Master Beimu, I don't know what you call a gift?" Xuanyuan Chengtian took a step forward and asked, staring at him nervously.
"Don't you know when His Highness the Crown Prince takes a look later?" Bei Mu Kuang raised the corner of his mouth and chuckled, turned around and walked back, came to the carriage, raised his feet and got on it. He grabbed Qingcheng who was sitting in fear and seemed to be
Regret: "It seems that only handing you over to Queen Tianchen can ensure the safety of all of us!"
Yanyan was still laughing just now when she saw Bei Mu Kuang's expression suddenly changed: "Brother Kuang! Did you promise to rescue your sister from the palace?"
"I'm saving everyone!" Yanyan stopped talking as soon as he drank it, her eyes filled with suspicion.
After Bei Mu Kuang finished speaking, he took away the imperial edict that Qingcheng was tightly protecting in his arms: "Leave this to me for safekeeping!"
Qingcheng stood on the spot coldly, with no change in his expression, as if he had accepted this sudden change: "You have been using me, right?"
Bei Mu played with the imperial edict in his hand and looked at her with a smile without saying a word, as if he was encouraging her to speak.
"I think that even if you can take me out of the palace, with the queen's suspicious personality, she will definitely doubt you! There will be constant obstacles along the way. As long as I don't leave the palace, I will continue to be in trouble, and you won't do it either, Yanyan.
It will definitely be saved." Qingcheng looked at him and smiled bitterly: "If you had handed me over in advance, the consequences could be imagined! When the emperor was here, the queen was extremely jealous of Qingcheng and wanted to put me to death and then be quick.
Now that the emperor passed away on the night he accepted Qingcheng as his concubine, the guilt of regicide was settled without having to be blamed. Think about it, if the queen got Qingcheng today, of course she would torture her slowly and then kill her quickly! She was obsessed with thinking.
When you are thinking about how to vent your anger and take revenge, who will go after the real culprit? How many are there? Of course your journey back to the country will be smooth! And you can have good relations with the two countries! You will gain fame and fortune, so why not do it?
Woolen cloth?"
Bei Mu kept listening to her with a smile on his lips, and said with an evil smile: "As expected, Xuanyuan Qi wants to get the goddess in every possible way, and you can even guess this king's thoughts! In fact, you yourself have never
You never believed us from the beginning! This edict is false!" After he finished speaking, he showed the edict in his hand - it was a painting! The painting that Bei Mu Kuang gave to Qingcheng as a gift at the night banquet!
Qingcheng chuckled noncommittally and asked in a deep voice, "It's just the Lord of the Beimu Kingdom. Aren't you worried that I will be on the same side as you if I fall into the hands of the Queen?"
Bei Mu laughed wildly and didn't take it to heart at all: "You can say it! But that has to be believed by the queen, right? Even if she believes it, she doesn't dare to do anything to us! Because the emperor is dead, Tianchen In these troubled times, don’t you understand that more things are worse than less things? If someone doesn’t do it right, he may be the one who will destroy himself! It’s better to turn a blind eye and let us go! Anyway Her goal has been achieved, right?"
Qingcheng was speechless. Having read so many history textbooks, she understood this truth better than anyone else, but she was a little unconvinced and unwilling: Why was she always the passive one?
"You can even put aside your own life and death!" Bei Mukuang said, pondered for a moment, walked closer, looked directly at her with dark pupils, and said as if he wanted to capture her soul and see through it: "Could it be that
Is there really the kind of man in this world who would make you risk your life?"
"Yes! It's a pity that you are not among them! Men like you who only know how to fight for power and live in fame and wealth with blood and never know what it is, will never experience the kind of love that goes deep into the bone marrow!"
Qingcheng said coldly, took a step forward, and got off the carriage. He ignored Bei Mu Kuang's last sentence, "If that man doesn't even have the ability to protect his own woman, he's not a man!"
